This summer there was something really silly, but really intriguing to me, being built between campus and downtown. I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be for the life of me (I see it driving to work every day), and even less why they were building it in the middle of a median across from the Munchie Mart. A couple of weeks ago I realized that they must be finished because there weren't anymore people working on it. This is what it ended up being (I wish I could find better photos of it from the side view...it looks connected here, and it's not at all):

Also, speaking of that, the girl from work gave me her hair stylist's phone number. I'll call him sometime this week, probably.
